The prompt he gave the model was simply below is a poem about music and solitude.
So, I curated it, but I really didnt do that much.

But its not bad.
What GPT3 really did here was provide inspiration, Newton-Rex said.
It just randomly chose to mention a piano.
Choir and piano is not a very common combination.
How do you publish AI work?
Newton-Rex has been composing choral music for many years now.
Most of his work is published by UK-based sheet music publisher Boosey & Hawkes.
With the latest piece, the publisher had a hard time working out the legalities, Newton-Rex added.
This is not the first time AI generated music has been afforded intellectual property rights.
I suspect that actually wouldnt be something that could really scale, which may be good for human creators.
Its not like Im going to use GPT for all of my texts Im going back to normal poetry.
AI can get us out of creative loops, it can just give us new ideas, Newton-Rex said.
Its like being in a writing room with someone.
I was too young
to understand the meaning
of the words I was singing.
II
As I was borne along by the music, a solitary tear ran down my cheek.
I did not understand why I was crying.
I did not know that the voice I heard was my own.
IV
It is the sound of this voice
that I hear
through the window.
V
In the darkness
of my mind,
there is a place
that I cannot reach.
It is there,
in that secret place,
that the most beautiful music
resides.
VI
I stand in the library.
I am surrounded by books.
They are my friends.
They are my teachers.
They are my protectors.
I can find comfort in their pages.
I can find knowledge in their words.
I can find safety in their presence.
I am never alone when I am with them.
VIII
I am at war with the world,
And all its inhabitants.
They take and they take,
And they never give back.
But I find solace in books,
In the librarys quiet corners.
I can lose myself for hours,
And forget all my troubles.
I stand in the library,
And I am at peace.
